Escape to the peace and privacy of this charming two-bedroom, one-bath cabin, tucked away on 2.77 wooded acres in the Shenandoah Farms Mountain Lake community. Offering approximately 860 square feet, the home makes the most of its space with an open layout, warm wood floors, and a cozy wood-stove fireplace insert. The chimney, flue, and fireplace insert were completely replaced in May 2026 and are covered by transferable warranties. Just beyond the main living area, the window-lined sunroom features custom built-in cabinetry and offers a relaxing spot to enjoy the wooded surroundings. The property has been thoughtfully updated with several major improvements. A new roof, gutters, downspouts, and leaf-guard system were installed in September 2025 and are also under warranty. The central HVAC system was installed in mid-2023, and recent additions include a new refrigerator, oven/range, water heater, and garage-door opener. The washer and dryer are approximately three years old. The septic system was inspected and pumped in August 2025, when a new riser was added for easier future maintenance. The home is also wired for a whole-house generator. Approximately 1.5 acres are enclosed by new fencing with two gates, creating plenty of space for pets, gardening, outdoor activities, or entertaining. Spend quiet mornings on the spacious covered porch. The substantial detached garage is a standout feature, offering a concrete floor, oversized roll-up door, electricity, and its own separate electric meter. It also includes a separate, fully insulated workroom with electricity—ideal for a workshop, studio, home office, hobby space, or additional storage. Two additional sheds and a walk-in crawlspace provide even more room for tools, lawn equipment, seasonal items, and outdoor gear. Shenandoah Farms residents enjoy access to community lakes, playgrounds, recreational areas, and a private boat landing on the Shenandoah River for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. The property is convenient to I-66 and Route 50 and approximately 15 miles from downtown Front Royal, Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, and Skyline Caverns. Wineries, breweries, farmers markets, hiking trails, and the Appalachian Trail are all within easy reach, while Washington, D.C., is approximately 70 miles away. Whether you’re looking for a full-time home, weekend retreat, or peaceful escape from Northern Virginia, this one offers the space, setting, and practical improvements to make mountain living easy.
